Hello! I apologize for my extended absence these past few weeks; I had another episode with my eye, I had the flu, I have been at my "second home" (the dentist) more times than I can remember, and I have just been busy overall.

A Sense of Purpose
Today I have dealt with "bipolar" emotions - although I had my sort of "normal" daily things to do, the total of these things wasn't great, and I felt, as I have been feeling more and more over the last few months, that I have been slipping into something like a very deep depression.

An Easy Way to Have a “Healthier” Diet
I don't know if this is "common" knowledge, but there is this general idea in Japan that one should consume 30 different kinds of food a day.
